The inside is spacious, immaculately clean, and beautiful. The air conditioning in this place is impressive, especially considering how hot it was at my August wedding.

I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!

We had an intimate backyard style wedding at Manjal Space and it was phenomenal! The venue was recently renovated inside so there was so much space and there are built in speakers/lights. The outdoor patio was large enough to seat 70 guests (rectangular tables) and even then there was space from the walkway starting at the patio to the barn. The venue has 3 spaces total: large indoor space, large outdoor patio, and an entire barn! We used all of them for my event since they were a few steps away. There are even string lights on the patio, inside the barn, and outside the barn giving it a nice ambiance. The host, Hari, is the easiest to work with and so sweet. He responds quickly and tends to all your needs as much as possible. I felt like my wedding would not have been as smooth if it weren’t for Hari’s dedication into making sure we had everything we needed. He was able to move certain furniture we needed out and came to the venue to meet with my planner on his own time! I am so happy I chose Manjal Space for my event and I recommend anyone who is considering any special events to book with Hari at Manjal Space, you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I recently got married at The Union Exchange and had the most magical days of our lives. I don't even know where to begin! I have been going to The Union Exchange market since it opened in 2022 and ever since my first day on the property, I felt at home. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, there was familiarity to it with the rural charm and wooded trails. As I watched the property grow over the years and saw all the hard work they put in to making it a beautiful wedding venue, I knew deep down that this where my husband and I would get married. The staff at The Union Exchange are one of a kind. From day one, Kelly and Kacie were detailed oriented and provided helpful insight when making decisions, but never were pushy when it came to discussing add ons. Donna is sunshine personified and brought such a light to the meetings throughout the process. The day of the wedding was smooth and seamless and much of that had to do with the hard work of the venue team. The property itself is unlike any other venue we toured! It has the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm, without feeling too barn-y. It's truly serene. We utilized the Full Farm Package so we had our ceremony in the Pine View Forest and reception at the Auction Barn, with cocktail hour at their stand alone bar, Splinters. One thing to note is the property is very large so there was some walking required throughout the day (for guests), but they are more than accommodating for people who need assistance! I HIGHLY recommend the Pine View Forest for the ceremony site. The lighting coming in through the trees was magical with the fall colors! You cannot go wrong with any location on the property for ceremony, but there really is something enchanting about the forest. The addition of the vintage furniture included in our package also added an element of elegance that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. A HUGE perk of this venue was the addition of the AirBnBs on the property. We had the bridal party stay the night of the wedding and it worked out perfectly! My husband and I plan to come back on our anniversary and stay at the glamping cabin we stayed in on the night of our wedding which is such a special option to have that you don't get with many other venues. The bottom line - this venue is magical. The staff treats you like family to make it the wedding day of your dreams. I00/10 recommend!

When my husband and I booked this venue for our wedding, the property was still under construction and existed only as a vision brought to life through renderings. Looking back, I’m so grateful we trusted that vision because we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location! This venue offers a timeless, romantic setting that truly enhances the vision for your wedding day. Its design, private location, and intimate layout made it the ideal spot for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. What truly set it apart, though, was the incredible team at Lumen House. Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we first toured the property to the final moments of our wedding day, it felt like they were genuinely rooting for us, and they treated us like family. If you’re considering a venue, book with Lumen House—you won’t regret it!

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a South Carolina Venue?

Ask about exclusive catering requirements since historic venues often limit kitchen facilities for preservation reasons.
